Simple Player Idle Sprites
Authors: winkio
Version: 1.0
Type: Animation System
Key Term: Environment Add-on

Introduction

This script was created from a simple request to have idle animations for player characters in this thread: https://forum.chaos-project.com/index.php/topic,2653.0.html

There are many scripts out there that have more fully featured implementations of idle sprites, but this one is intended to be minimalistic - just a single idle sprite per character.

Instructions

Place the Simple Player Idle Sprites script below the default scripts, above main, and above any other custom scripts you may be using.

If you are using the Tons of Addons script and want caterpillar heroes to have idle sprites as well, you must also place the Simple Caterpillar Idle Sprites script below Tons of Addons.

Idle sprites should be named after the original sprite with '_idl' at the end, for example if your player sprite is named 'MainGuy.png', then the idle sprite should be named 'MainGuy_idl.png'
Compatibility

Made compatible with Tons of Add-ons, including when Caterpillar option is turned on.
May not be compatible with larger scripts and ABS battle systems.

*fixes topic header so it can be added to the database*

EDIT: yo wut, the scripts disappeared after my edit. Good thing I still had a tab open to the original post.
